4 Crown Copyright. TROOPING THE COLOUR – HM THE QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY PARADE The traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony – The Queen’s Birthday Parade – takes place this year on Saturday 17 June. The Colour will be trooped by 1st Battalion Irish Guards. This impressive display of pageantry takes place in June each year to celebrate the official Birthday of the Sovereign and is carried out by Her Majesty’s personal troops, the Household Division, on Horse Guards Parade. Precisely as the clock strikes eleven, the Royal Procession arrives and The Queen takes the Royal Salute. The parade begins with the Inspection, as The Queen drives slowly down the ranks of all six Guards and then past the Household Cavalry. After the event, the Royal Family gathers on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch an RAF flypast at 13.00, with crowds filling The Mall. The Queen's Birthday Parade is also broadcast live on BBC television. HRH Prince William of Wales, Regimental Colonel, Irish Guards will take the salute at The Colonel’s Review on Saturday 10 June on Horse Guards Parade. THE HOUSEHOLD DIVISION BEATING RETREAT The Household Division Beating Retreat, taking place this year on 14 & 15 June, is a traditional musical extravaganza which showcases the very best of British military music, ceremonial and pageantry in the heart of London. Set on the historic Horse Guards Parade, against the magnificent backdrop of St James’s Park, The Massed Bands of The Household Division will perform a programme of rousing military and contemporary music, supported by The Mounted Band of the Household Cavalry, The Pipes and Drums of The Scots Guards, The Drums and Pipes of the Irish Guards, The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, The Royal Canadian Artillery Band and The Band of The Mercian Regiment. Military Beating Retreat concerts have a long tradition dating back to the 1690s. Originally the beating of the drum was used to order troops to break off fighting and withdraw to the safety of camp as darkness fell, later it signalled the closing of the camp gates at the end of the day and called troops back to base for the night. Beating Retreat 2017 will be an unforgettable evening of musical celebration, with stirring music, precision drill, horses, cannon, lights and a stunning fireworks finale.
